So, I've finally made it onto the blog. Let it never be said that I'm a geek (maybe not very smart, either!).
Thanks to Ron for posting our pictures at the Eternal Flame. Hopefully it will become famous in the future as the Green Party becomes increasingly successful.
Now, a discussion challenge: The Green Party has a position of non-violence, and many members (including me) have stated support the troops - not the Afghanistan war. This is fine, but what do we stand for as a solution? Elizabeth May said at her meda scrum following her election as leader that Canada should step back into our traditional role of peacekeeping, and a U.N. force of peacekeepers from predominantly Muslim nations move into Afghanistan to replace the current participants so that any incidents cannot be mis-interpreted (or spun) as religious conflicts. I like the proposal, but is it realistic? Will Muslim nations step up into this sort of role? Would they still not need western financial and logistical support? Would that matter?
